Reports: Oden to meet with teams

Greg Oden is in Las Vegas this week for meetings with several NBA teams, according to published reports.

Sources told ESPN.com’s Marc Stein that the free agent center is expected to chat with executives from the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks.

Oden’s expected meeting with the Mavericks is reportedly scheduled for some time Monday.

Meanwhile, Oden’s agent, Mike Conley Sr., has said the free-agent center still has his eye on a potential deal with the Miami Heat, according to FOX Sports Florida.

Team president Pat Riley told reporters that he has already spoken with Oden, according to ESPN.com

Oden, 25, has not played an NBA game since the 2009-10 season because of knee problems. Last year he underwent his third knee surgery due to a microfracture.
